senatemajldr had the choice between siding with TheJusticeDept or Putin's Puny (Loser) Puppet POTUS.... ... And just like Trump at Helsinki, Sen. Mitch McConnell BETRAYED his Oath Of Office and the country. SenateDems SenateGOP

Stupid legislation so if the Mueller investigation is out of the original scope mandated it would be protected. BS

McConnell has got to go.

If turtle McConnell blocks this like he did Russian CyberAttack it will be the final undoing Traitors protecting TraitorTrump ProtectMueller TrumpIsNotAboveTheLaw

Caucus with the Dems for two months Flake and Coons and make sure this doesn't happen.

Get that Fake Flake out................🙄

how many times does someone need to explain to ya'll that a Rino & a Commie does not make it 'bipartisan'

Impeach McConnel. Have him removed

Look who's at it again. NeverTrumper Jeff Flake.

SenMajLdr - is an obstructionist! He won't bring it to the floor....and he must stop obstructing justice - or be indicted for it.

Limiting the Presidents power over the Justice Department creates a Constitutional problem. This is why Congress and the Senate has the recourse of impeachment.

Imagine if a democrat Senator pushed hard for a Special Prosecutor against Obama? How do you think the democrats in Congress would react? Using this scenario, IS FLAKE NUTS?

A Bill which will be vetoed by the President.

Such a flake

This is futile . The FISA document drop will seal this whole deal.

I wonder if Trump will sign it?

Maybe bc it's a ridiculous bill and would never pass the Senate floor.... idiots!

Not going to

It is very hard for McConnell to do anything remotely non partisan.

Probably because Mueller has a sealed indictment for Mitch as well.
